Introduction to Library Research.
White-Carter, Anita, Comp.
Prepared by the reference faculty of the Ramsey Library at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, this guide is the primary text for Bibliography 101, a one-hour course designed to help undergraduate students acquire basic understandings of the range of information resources available, how information is organized, and how it can be retrieved. Following a brief introduction to the course, the guide is divided into the following sections: (1) Ramsey Library, including library hours, circulation policies, library services, and library collections; (2) Library Research; (3) The Library and Its Classification System, including classification, library catalogs, and subject access to books; (4) Types of Library Material, including the reference collection, periodicals, indexes to parts of books, and government documents; and (5) Evaluating Sources. The library's online search guide and examples of catalog cards and microfiche are reproduced; and sample entries are provided as illustrations of the contents and use of several reference sources. In addition, brief exercises are inserted throughout the guide. An illustration of bibliographic forms and a sample bibliography, are appended, as well as a bibliography of 55 style manuals. A glossary of 33 useful terms is also provided. (KM)
